I bought this for my 7yo. It's good to write in the things it lists such as title/author and words to look up or things to discuss. Thing is he Dosent really write in it and he keeps using the same one for different books. I do think the idea of it is better used for a group activity over solitaire reading.

Buddy "Underdog" Crain
Feb. 14, 1998
Bond County
Illinois, USA
Mar. 3, 2013
Bond County
Illinois, USA
Buddy was an abandoned puppy, a Basset who caught his own food, lived in the culverts and was as skinny as a rail, with this big head and a heart on his forehead shaped into his fur.
On March 15,1998 as I was retrieving some items out of my suburbon vehicle, the drivers door was open and I was in the back behind the drivers seat. There was a Bassett bark and in the front passenger seat was this skinny dog with this big head, smilling back at me, nearly starverd to death.
Buddy came into our family, with Tazzy and Spot Crain. It did not take long for Buddy to acquire more food and then some; he grew to a very large (wide) dog, eventually loosing his weight to a lot of walking everywhere, that he loved and I followed along behind. "Hey, who was walking who?"
Wherever I went, driving or walking, Buddy was always with me. Car rides, the widow on the passenger side had to be down, snow, heat and rain when he pulled his head back in from outside the window, he was soaking wet. Then he would come over to me and shake himself off while I was driving.
Always wanting to be petted, he is loyal a little sneaky around food and those big sad eyes. Buddy gave Tazzy and Spot a run for there food.
Finally, one night while I was watching the stars through a telescope, the dogs were playing in the backyard and they would come to me and I would reached down and pat them on the head without looking. I patted Tazzy, Spot, Buddy and a fourth. Hmm...who was that, I looked out in the yard and they were playing with a skunk! Naturally I went inside and one by one they came into the house through the doggie door. Ooops- so did the skunk. Gave him the treat that everyone else got and away he went. Thank goodness.
Buddy sadly developed cancer of the spleen and liver and today bravely and quietly, still ready to go for a walk-passed away in the front passenger seat of the car at 1:00 P.M. Sunday March 03, 2013 ( 14 yrs. 2 mo. 8 dys.)a holy/religous day for an ANGEL to fly and test his wings.
In his memory, later I walked our favorite trail that he so enjoyed, clutching his collar. I will never walk the trails again since all of the dogs are now in heaven.
You are a funny, loving little dog with a BIG HEART, YOU ARE MY LASSIE! Clay paw prints were made that morning, what a treasure he is. Sitting here this morning looking back, I calculated the number of days Buddy was with me by the total cost to feed, care of him all of these years and generally came up with $2.654 per day of happiness. Such a low price to pay for such a thrill ride from God.
Thank you Buddy, for all of the love and memories to fill my days that are left. From a Father to His Son, I Love You!
KitKat has been looking for you…
Only two weeks after your death and 15 years to the day and hour after you came to me, jumping into my Suburbon and sitting in the front seat with the gruffled bark, looking at me, another Beagle has come to me after I said a prayer on the way home that eventful morning of your anniversary into my life.
With tears streaming down my cheeks, I said openly to God, "If there is a dog out there like Buddy, who needs a home, I'll do everything in my power to do my best."
Twenty minutes later as I sat in front of my home with the drivers door open and I was in the back getting my gear out, I heard some noise, a gruffled bark and there in the passenger seat sat a Beagle, nearly identicle to Buddy.
Searching for the owner for four days, no one had ever seen this dog before. I even tried to chase him off and he returned to the front door. Now he is a permanent member of the family and his name is Snoopy!I don't believe in coincidences, I believe this was fate...
In another twist of fate or faith, December 26, 2013 while outside with Snoopy a car stopped in the street and a man exited, yelling Buddy come here! Snoopy bolted from the yard and gleefully was all over the man.
Come to find out, the man was the owner of Snoopy (Buddy) that had come into my life after my Buddy had died and after the prayer.
So with curiousity I found out, Snoopy lived down the road and had taken off, jealous of another dog the man had acquired to be a companion for Snoopy and there on his phone were the pictures to prove it. Additionally, the dog that I called Snoopy was called Buddy by the previous owner. So the man said obviously he is very happy and lots of room to run, keep him, He's Yours!Now what are the chances that I would acquire another dog right after praying that looks like mine, Beagle and answers to the name of Buddy?
Not one to accept everything on the word of of a human, I did some checking and found out Snoopy a.k.a. Buddy was actually dumped by this guy. So who do you think got the better deal, the dumper...Snoopy...Me? Snoopy! He's safe, warm, has his own chair and plenty of food, water and love.
Is there a God? You better believe there is!
My Buddy was taken upon his death to Anthony Eddy's Wildlife Studio in Slater, Mo., because I just could not bury or cremate this little guy as I have in the past. Therefore, I had him preserved-Freeze Dried. This process does not strip the hide off, but stabilizes the body to where everything is intacked and the moisture in the body is slowly removed, so he is still the same and positioned in a setting to allow him to look natural.
On June 16, 2014 Buddy was brought home and now sleeps in his favorite location, just as before.
When I die, Buddy will be placed on my chest with my arm around him, as he sleeps.
I believe this writing sent to Buddy by GeorgiaCa is most appropriate for all of our friends;
"I have done mostly what men do, And pushed it out of my mind; But I can't forget, if I wanted to, Four-Feet trotting behind. Day after day, the whole day through Wherever my road inclined-- Four-Feet said, 'I am coming with you!' And trotted along behind. Now I must go by some other round-- Which I shall never find-- Some where that does not carry the sound Of Four-Feet trotting behind."~Rudyard Kipling
Addendum: Tazzy Crain, Spot Crain, Buddy Crain, KitKat Crain, Snoopy Crain and Patrick L. Crain. All together!
A human being will love you, disrespect you and leave you. A pet will respect you, love you and always be at your side.
Damn the one who hurts a pet!

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the latest from seasoned Texan social satirist Bird (The Flamenco Academy, etc.), Blythe Young's recent divorce from Trey Dix has left her outside the protective bubble of Austin's high society. As her catering business goes broke and the IRS starts to chase her down, Blythe seeks a haven at Seneca House, the housing co-op where she lived 10 years ago during college. There, she must face Millie Ott, one of many friends Blythe shucked off in a frenzy of social climbing. Once portly Millie is now slender and, as a perfect foil for Blythe, also saintly: she delivers aid to the homeless by way of a tandem recumbent bike (which Blythe names the dorkocycle). At Seneca House, Blythe tries to make amends with people she's stepped on, to avoid the IRS, and to kick both a lingering drug habit and an addiction to scamming people into helping her out. She slowly starts to wins over the affection of her housemates until one of her unthinking decisions brings potential ruin on the co-op's financial well-being. The result is a laugh-out-loud addition to Bird's long line of estrogen-fueled dramedies. (June)

"Anyone who picks up Sarah Bird's How Perfect Is That expecting chick-lit better be wearing a flack jacket. This is hard-edge, scary-funny social comedy and not for sissies. Brits do this well, but not many Americans. But then again, not many Americans have experienced the poisonous social whirl of Texas Republican Ladies at the zenith of the Bush hegemony. Bird's heroine is admittedly no better than she should be. In fact, she probably deserves Trollope's title: 'Can You Forgive Her?' And I, for one, can forgive her without hesitation. She has seen the affect-challenged harpies in all their toxic vulgarity. So forget about Scott McClellan: this is 'What Really Happened'--out there where it hurts to laugh but you laugh anyway. Then pray." –Dave Hickey
"A perfect, curl-up-with-a-margarita splash of summer fun. Ms. Bird's wickedly good grasp of social satire couldn't be finer." —The Dallas Morning News
"A delightful tale–part social satire, part comedy, part drama . . . Bird paces her story with rollicking hilarity and scathing insight." —Candace Horgan, Elle's Readers' Prize 2008
"Bird details her pilgrim's progress with an acute eye and ear–and a scorching sense of humor." —The Austin Chronicle
"Sparks and laughs fly." —The New York Post, "Required Reading"
"A fast-paced, fun story by a smart, sensitive woman of a certain age. . . a perfect summer read." —Palm Beach Post
"How Perfect Is That? Pretty damned perfect. Sarah Bird's scathingly funny look at red state high society delivers a novel that's equal parts Edith Wharton and Nick Hornby. Hilarious."–Will Clarke, author of Lord Vishnu's Love Handles and The Worthy
"Friends, you've got a treat in store. A laugh-out-loud riches-to-rags tale, a novel of manners that's perfect for the 'coming to our senses' post-Bush age. How Perfect is That is a fried Twinkie of a book–crunchily witty, creamy-hearted and shockingly delicious." –Janet Fitch, author of Paint It Black and White Oleander
Praise for Sarah Bird's past work
"Do not eat or drink while reading this book. It has so many laughs I almost choked to death." –Florence King
"Sarah Bird is a fearless madcap. . . falling-off-the-chair hilarious." –The Los Angeles Times
"Sarah Bird writes fiction with such energy and snap, her novels seem to be in motion. . . Breathtaking."
–Dallas Morning News
"Bird's writing brings to life every person and place. . . Laughter comes often and is uncontrolled. The compulsion to read segments out loud . . . is overwhelming."–The Chicago Tribune
"A very funny book, too–sometimes savagely so. . . It is, in short, a treat." –San Jose Mercury News

At the same locally owned bookstore, I grabbed a front seat to hear Bird talk about her new book that characterizes Austin's elite -- so that it is. Not being able to wait for the time or space to read the book, I called in sick and settled down to read How Perfect Is That. So what if I got fired for being a no-show, it was worth it.
That Sarah Bird knows how to create a character, and How Perfect Is That gives readers a slew of tasty characters to devour. From Trey Biggs Dix to Kittie Lee Teeter, Bird is an attuned anthropologist who gives her audience a tour through Austin's social scene with several side trips to its prominent bastions of counterculture, politics and dropouts. Certainly, Bird is a Uniter-Not-A-Divider, as she cooks the worlds of the do-gooders, homeless and social climbers into one juicy dish.
With so many things in life that disappoint, thank goodness Sarah Bird is not one. If you liked any of Bird's previous six novels, you will love this book. If you haven't read her other books, get started!
She was recently married to a very wealthy man and part of a well-known family, but sadly is now divorced and she made the mistake of signing a pre-nup. So she's broke, wearing last years fashion, living in her friends pool-side cabin, and all while trying to maintain her socialite status but failing miserably. Her last chance is to cater an upscale garden party for one of her ritzy friends but that is a total disaster and the last step off the social ladder for her.
She's bankrupt, being hounded by an IRS agent, and stalked by her irate employees who have not been paid for months, she has been publicly humiliated, and is addicted to pharmaceuticals (oh, and have I mentioned that she hasn't had a Pap smear in ten years). Luckily for her she remembers a friend (the only one she can remember and whose calls she's been ignoring) and runs to her for help. The only problem, her friend still resides in the same housing co-op she did back when they were in college. While residing amongst the tattooed, the pierced, the rasta-wannabe's and the musically hip, she begins to face her sins and make amends for her behavior... but not without getting into all types of scrapes and scuffles along the way.
I thought this was hilarious! Blythe is a narrator you will not soon forget. Her story is one full of ups and downs but mostly one of hope. She gets herself into all types of wacky situations and is always in some type of trouble - even when she is trying to do something good it backfires on her. She is funny, sarcastic, witty and clever. All the other characters were quirky and unique and they were just tons of fun. The story is set in Austin, TX and from what I've read from other reviewers - the descriptions of Austin are very accurate and there is a lot of Austin-insider info were someone who is not from or has never been to Austin might not fully comprehend. That was definitely not the case with me and I do fall under the category of never been. This is a quick, easy read with an uplifting message that I would definitely recommend.
The first half or so of this book definitely had "chick lit" elements; however, I actually found the messages in this book to be quite deep -- surprisingly so. As I was reading the last few pages of this book, I was actually tearing up -- real tears of joy. I found HOW PERFECT IS THAT to be almost an inspirational book for me, and it had with some wonderful words of wisdom about love and the value of friendship. This book made me think of all the things in my life that I'm grateful for (as well as those things that I should really work on); and I just wanted to call all my good girlfriends and tell them what they mean to me. (I didn't do that because they'd think I'm nuts, but I hope they are reading this review now and realize what they mean to me!)
Now, I know this review might sound like it's going overboard; and I think some people who read this novel might find it "corny" and feel that the story is tied up entirely too nicely. However, I have to say that I really appreciated this book. That's not to say that HOW PERFECT IS THAT is by any means the "perfect" book or even my favorite book of the year -- I just like that this book made me evaluate my own feelings and actions.
I have to admit that I wasn't always this crazy about this book. I didn't exactly love the first half of it because I found the character of Blythe to be so terribly annoying. After reading the entire book, I understand that that was the author's intent; however, Blythe really was despicable! I got more than a little tired of all her snide comments and how she treated everyone she encountered. Having said that, I did think that the writing was extremely smart and witty; and I found myself laughing at her social commentaries about the Texas wealthy crowd as well as Texas politics.
What I definitely liked about this book is that it shows that even the most unlikeable character (i.e. Blythe) can redeem herself. Trust me when I say that Blythe did a full 180! So ultimately, this book is about redemption. Yet, it's also about forgiveness -- forgiving others as well as ourselves. And, there are lots of other messages too like realizing what's important in our lives and doing things to actually make a difference (like helping those less fortunate than us.) I also loved that HOW PERFECT IS THAT featured the strength and importance of female friendships!
One of my absolutely favorite scenes in this novel is when all the richy-rich (and shallow) women are sharing their feelings at a retreat. It really jumped out at me:
"Friends. Our friends exasperate us. They annoy us. They compete with us. They gossip about us. We gossip about them. But we wouldn't be who we are without them. Millie told me that each friend God gives us is sent for a reason. Maybe she was sent to comfort you. Maybe you were sent to comfort her. Maybe she was put in your life to prod you to become more than you think you can be. Maybe she is the aggravation in the oyster that makes you form a pearl. Maybe she was sent to make you laugh or talk or think."

We consider the problem of computing a parting line for a mold for a complex mesh model, given a parting direction, and the related problem of removing small undercuts, either preexisting, or resulting from the parting line. Existing parting line algorithms are unsuitable for use with complex meshes: the faceted nature of such models leads to a parting line which zig-zags or wanders across the surface undesirably. Our method computes a smooth parting line which runs through a band of triangles whose normals are approximately perpendicular to the parting direction. We generate a skeleton of this triangle band to find its distinct topological cycles, and to decompose it into simple pieces. After selecting paths making a good cycle, we generate a final smooth parting line by iteratively improving the geometry of this cycle. Compliance in the physical material, and/or modifications to eliminate minor undercuts ensure that such a parting line is practically useful.

A group of investigators report that it is possible to enhance insulin-degrading enzyme's (IDE) ability to destroy amyloid beta (A-beta) with synthetic small molecules. In laboratory experiments, they found that one agent, dubbed Ia1, increased the activity of IDE by about 700%, while the second compound, Ia2, increased it by almost 400%.
The research, which is published in the April 22 online issue of PLoS ONE, was a collaboration between Mayo Clinic Florida, The Scripps Research Institute, and Harvard Medical School. The study is called "Small-Molecule Activators of Insulin-Degrading Enzyme Discovered through High-Throughput Compound Screening."
IDE was the first degrading enzyme implicated in the imbalance seen between the production and elimination of A-beta in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, according to lead researcher, Malcolm Leissring, Ph.D., from Mayo's department of neuroscience. "We don't know why that balance is skewed in individuals that develop Alzheimer's disease, but one hypothesis is that as we age, activity of the enzymes that destroy A-beta goes down."
The scientists thus screened tens of thousands of chemicals looking for ones that could bind to IDE and modulate its activity. That led to discovery and testing of Ia1 and Ia2. Dr. Leissring says that the success they achieved in their test tube experiments offers a new path for more advanced research.

Thank you!!
A few words of thanks to everyone who has purchased items of my work recently. From cards to large posters most of you choose to remain anonymous but just wanted to let you all know that I really appreciate the purchase. It's not about the money for me..it is about sharing my photography and it thrills me when someone is willing to spend their hard earned coin on my work. The standard of work is very high at times on RB with many amateurs and hobbyists vying for attention with professionals and this makes any purchase so much sweeter as I have so much to learn.

Yuuki's dorm-mate and best friend since junior high, Yuuki often refers to her as Yori-chan. Yori seems to be one of the few girls who is not interested in the Night Class. She finds them a bit scary and stated that she would prefer someone from the day class. Yori is also very observant, as she notices a lot of things that happen to Yuuki, especially when she gets hurt or is very depressed.
Yori's part in the story is relatively small. She spends a lot of time worried about Yuki not getting enough sleep and having nightmares. She teases Yuuki when Ichiru reveals that Zero has feelings for Yuuki and confirms Yori's suspicions, although the whole matter isn't clear to Yuuki. Yori finds out that Yuuki is a vampire after Aidou protected her from a Level D vampire, who served Rido. Despite that fact, Yori still accepts Yuki and appeared to be more worried over the fact that she would lose her best friend. Because of the recent events at Cross Academy, she is taken to a safe place by Aidou on Kaname's orders. After the attack is over, she defends Aido when the other day class girls are afraid of him. Yori is one of the only day class students that know about vampire's existence, she now has a deeper friendship with Zero Kiryuu, even to be thought as Zero's girlfriend by Kaito (new teacher of Ethics starting from chapter 53). Kaito helps Yori to go to the vampire ball in chapter 53, having her stow away in his suitcase, which Zero freaks when she appears at the ball. Kaito and Zero promise to keep an eye on her while she goes find her best friend, Yuuki Kuran.

A former Oppenheimer & Co. private-equity fund manager lied to investors about his performance, the Securities and Exchange Commission alleged yesterday.
Brian Williamson's quarterly reports and marketing materials for the Oppenheimer Global Resource Private Equity Fund I routinely inflated performance. Williamson has denied the allegations.
"In its zeal to pursue cases in the private-equity space, the SEC has alleged fraud where none exists," Williamson's lawyer, Andrew Levander, said.
"Investors deserve and the law requires honest disclosure about how their investments are valued," SEC enforcement co-head Andrew Ceresney said. "Williamson improperly lured investors to the private-equity fund he managed by providing false and misleading information about the fund's performance."
In one case, the SEC alleges, Williamson inflated the value of his $100 million fund of funds' largest investment, Cartesian Investors, by 50%, turning the $6 million valuation given to him by Cartesian into $9 million, thus boosting the fund's quarterly returns from 4% to 38%.
Oppenheimer, where Williamson worked from 2005 until 2011, settled the SEC's charges in March, agreeing to pay $2.8 million.

- Region:
- United States of America
This neighborhood is a historical community developed by African-Americans starting as early as the 1920s (bungalows, georgians, split-levels as well as Tudor homes).
We are leading the way for our schools in the coming school year, including a demonstration community garden to be utilized by two of the area schools as part of the Federal Department of Agriculture National Program for public schools. Historically, our gardeners have been recognized by the City of Chicago for their beautiful flower gardens and garden walk which showcases lawns, flowers and vegetables.
The current situation includes traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular within the neighorhood, extremely heavy traffic at 95th and State Street CTA terminal, heavy drug and gang traffic, as well as two gasoline stations. Our aim is to conserve value of the land and residences; lessen congestion in the public streets and avoid increased congestion; promote public safety, comfort and welfare of the residents; also, to prohibit uses, buildings or structures incompatible with the character of the neighborhood.

1. Field of The Invention
The Invention relates to card connectors, and particularly to the connector for use within the cellular phone for receiving an identification card therein.
2. The Prior Art
IC cards other than the standard memory cards or I/O cards, are also popularly used in the communication field. Different from the memory cards and I/O cards each of which adopts a standardized 68 pins memory card host connectors as an interface device for interconnection with the computer and as a complementary connector for coupling to the 68 positions socket connector built in the memory card, IC cards each generally uses the connector having a plurality of spring contacts facing up for engagement with a corresponding number of circuit pads printed on the surface of the IC card which faces down toward the connector wherein such IC card is substantially secured to the connector in the vertical direction for resisting the upward forces caused by the restoring force of the contacts of the connector. The IC card connectors may be referred to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,820,186, 4,843,223, 4,902,233, 4,013,255, 5,169,345, 5,224,873, 5,226,826, 5,231,274, 5,259,777, 5,320,552, 5,337,220, 5,425,651 and 5,470,260. Generally speaking, for efficiently holding the IC card with regard to the connector, there is a cover directly attached to the connector as shown in some of the aforementioned patents. Anyhow, a recent attempt in the cellular phone having an IC card therein, is to use the lid of the cellular phone for holding the IC card against the IC card connector instead of using the cover of the connector, and therefore the structure of such IC card connector can be simplified by removing therefrom the attached cover shown in the prior arts.
An object of the invention is to provide an IC card connector having the simplified structure for easy self-assembling and installation on the PC board, and convenient engagement with the IC card used within the phone set.
According to an aspect of the invention, an IC card connector including an insulative housing having a plurality of cavities extending therethrough in a vertical direction for receiving a corresponding number of contacts therein. Each contact includes a surface mounting tail which is pressed against by a corresponding standoff formed on a bottom surface of the housing. A significant space is formed on the underside of the housing generally below the cavities for allowing mounting plural tiny components thereunder on the PC board. A stopper is formed on the bottom portion of each cavity for supportable engagement with the corresponding downward flexed contact when the IC card is pressed on the housing. A pair of recesses are formed on two sides of the housing each with a shoulder therein for engagement with a plate which is optionally attached to the top surface of the housing for installation of the connector on the PC board by suction.
FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of an IC card connector with the contacts therein according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the contact of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the connector of FIG. 1 to show the bottom structure thereof.
FIG. 4(A) is a cross-sectional view of the connector of FIG. 1 to show how the contact is received within the cavity.
FIG. 4 (B) is a fragmentary perspective view of the connector of FIG. 1 to show the contact is engaged within the cavity.
FIG. 5 is a top perspective view of the connector of FIG. 1 and an auxiliary plate device which is ready to be optionally attached thereto.
FIG. 6 is a top perspective view of the assembled connector with thereon the associated plate device of FIG. 6.
FIG. 7 is a bottom perspective view of the connector and the auxiliary plate device of FIG. 6 to show the bottom structure of the auxiliary plate device.
References will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention. While the present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiments, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications to the present invention can be made to the preferred embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by appended claims.
It will be noted here that for a better understanding, most of like components are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various figures in the embodiments. Attention is directed to FIGS. 1-3 wherein an IC card connector 10 includes an insulative housing 12 with a plurality of cavities 14 extending through in a vertical direction for receiving a corresponding number of contacts 16 therein.
Also referring to FIGS. 4(A) and 4 (B), each contact 16 includes a main body 18 with retention barbs 20 on two sides for engagement within the corresponding slots 22 in the corresponding cavity 14. A spring beam 24 extending from the top of the main body 18, includes a horizontal section 26 directly connected to the main body 18, and an upward extending curved engaging section 28 wherein a portion of the engaging section 28 protrudes out of the top mating surface 30 of the housing 12. To comply with the configuration of the spring beam 24, a pair of chamfers 32 and 34 are formed on two opposite corners in the cavity 14.
A middle portion on the underside of the housing 12 has been removed therefrom to form a space 36 recessed from the bottom surface 38 of the housing 12 under the region of the cavities 14 so that plural electrical components 102 can be mounted on the PC board 100, on which the connector 10 is mounted, under the housing 12 and in such space 36.
Oppositely, corresponding to each contact tail 40 which integrally extends horizontally and outwardly from the bottom of the main body 18 of the contact 16, a standoff 42 extends downward on the outermost portion of the housing 12 which the tail 40 of the contact 16 can abut against. This assures coplanarity of the contact tails 40 and provides a proper ventilation area for soldering of the contact tail 40. Moreover, to ease inspection or rework of the soldering of the tails 40 of the contact 16, an elongated indent 44 is formed along each side wall 46.
Therefore, when assembled, the contacts 16 are inserted into the cavities 14 of the connector 10, respectively, from the bottom. During this assembling, with proper assembling tools, the contact 16 is first moved toward the housing 12 from the bottom at an angle to have the spring beam 24 pass the stopper 46 and then have the contact 16 upward move within the cavity 14 whereby the retention barbs 20 of the main body 18 can be engaged within the slots 22 in the housing 12. It should be noted that the pair of chamfers 32 and 34 in each cavity 14 provide guidance of contact assembling in the cavity 14 without improper interference.
After assembled, the connector 10 can be solderably mounted on the PC board and adapted to engage an IC card (not shown) which is downward pressed by the lid of the phone set (not shown) to cover the top surface 30 of the housing 12 and to have its circuit pads engaged with the protruding engagement section 28 of the contact 16 of the connector 10. Understandably, the spring beam 24 will be downward deflected when the IC card is actuated thereon. To avoid the spring beam 24 from deforming over its limits, each cavity 14 further includes a stopper 48 on the bottom so that the downward flexed horizontal section 26 of contact 16 can be stopped and supported by the stopper 48 when the IC card is loaded onto the connector 10.
It can be seen that to increase the resiliency of the spring beam 24, the horizontal section 26 extends through the whole lengthwise dimension of the cavity 14, and the engagement section 28 successively extends upward and curvilinearly in a folded back manner and also almost utilizes the full lengthwise dimension of the cavity 14.
In addition and referring to FIGS. 5-7, to facilitate solderably mounting the connector 10 on the PC board 100 via a suction process, an auxiliary plate device 50 can optionally and detachably attached to the housing 12 of the connector 10. To receive such auxiliary plate device 50, a recess 52 is formed on each lateral side of the housing 12 with a bump 54 horizontally extending therein. Correspondingly, the auxiliary plate device 50 further includes a pair of side walls 58 on two sides each with a hook 60 at the bottom thereof. Therefore, the auxiliary plate device 50 can be securely attached to the housing 12 of the connector 10 from the top wherein two side walls 58 of the plate device 50 can be received in the corresponding recesses 52, respective, with the hooks 60 engaged with the corresponding bumps 54 in the recesses 52. Thus, a suction nozzle in the assembling machine can confront and be covered by the plate device 50 for installation of the connector 10 on the PC board. It can be appreciated that after the connector 10 is soldered onto the PC board, the auxiliary plate device should be removed from the housing 12 by manually releasing the locking between the hooks 60 of the plate device 50 and the bumps 54 in the recesses 52, such that the engagement sections 28 of the contacts 16 of the connector 10 are fully exposed to an exterior for access of the IC card.
It is noted that the plate device 50 should includes a plurality of channels 62 on the undersurface (FIG. 7) corresponding to the cavities 14 of the connector 10 for receiving portions of the engagement sections 28 of the contacts 16 which project out of the top surface 30 of the connector 10. It is also contemplated that the top mating surface 30 should be sufficiently large to stably support the IC card thereon, and also be sufficiently small to have the whole dimension of the housing 12 within the limited range of the designated layout on the PC board.
While the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, the description is illustrative of the invent and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications to the present invention can be made to the preferred embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Therefore, persons of ordinary skill in this field are to understand that all such equivalent structures are to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Destiny patch will let you lock up your gear
@Thetick I understand what you're saying, but you can't really apply FFXIV 1.0 lifespan to FFXIV 2.0, it really is a completely new game, right from the game engine, to the environments. FFXIV 2.0 has been out for a year and a half, and the big content updates started after 4 months. Smaller fixes we're rolling out almost straight away.
I'm not bashing Destiny, I spent a good few months playing it and really enjoyed my time with it. The mechanics are spot on. It's just a shame simple things haven't been implemented after seven months. Reply +1
As a player of Final Fantasy XIV (massive content update every 3 months, smaller updates monthly), it astounds me how long it takes Bungie to implement anything.
I realise that it doesn't have a monthly fee, but considering the games budget & the extortionate price of the explanations (for a few new bounties, a strike & a raid) you'd think they could fast track some of the features people have been crying out for (why the hell don't we have an in game party finder yet, why do I need to use a third party website to find a raid group?).

Final Fantasy creator reveals concept video for cancelled RPG
Does anyone else feel the games industry is rather stagnant at the moment? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some of the big budget AAA games, and the indie scene does have some great concepts. But I miss the middle ground, the games by big studios that didn't have to sell 3 million copies to be considered a success.
Ubisoft still put out games that fall into this category, child of light, valiant hearts etc. but you look at Activation & all their billions, and they only really put out 3 franchises a year. No risks taken. Reply +25
Games of 2014: Destiny
This pretty much sums up my feelings for the game. Yes it could have been so much more, but as it is, it's one of the tightest games I've ever played... To the extent that other games seem slow and unresponsive in comparison.
It reminds me of when I played games as a kid. Super Mario Brothers only had a handful of levels, and no save system, so you replayed the same section over and over , but it was fun, and it controlled great.
Then once you knew the level layout, you would just hold down the run button and go.
Such a great feeling, and it's the same feeling I get from Destiny. Kill 10 Hive majors? Sure thing, I know just the place. Pop my Sparrow, boost to a location, jump off (preferably after taking it off a sweet jump), lob a grenade into the melee, then start popping heads. Awesome. Reply +20

Major oil project in Gulf on horizon
Published: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 12:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 12:53 p.m.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. will get more than half a billion dollars from an undisclosed party to fund development of a large Gulf of Mexico oil and gas project, the company said Monday.
The anonymous investor agreed to fund completely Anadarko's estimated capital spending on the Lucius development, committing $556 million, Anadarko said.
In exchange for covering Anadarko's spending on the development, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012, the investor will take a 7.2 percent working interest in the development, carving it from Anadarko's 35 percent.
Other companies with interests in Lucius are Plains Exploration & Production, Exxon Mobil Corp., Apache Corp., Petrobras and Eni.
The identity of the new investor will be disclosed once the deal closes, which is expected in the next three months, according to Anadarko.
The investment will provide The Woodlands-based Anadarko extra cash as it pushes the project forward, said Andrew Coleman, an analyst for Raymond James.
''This is just them trying to spread that risk portfolio out a little bit,'' Coleman said.
The Lucius project is 230 miles off the Louisiana coast at a water depth of 7,200 feet. It will be developed with a truss spar floating production facility now under construction, and will be able to produce more than 80,000 barrels of oil and 450 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, Anadarko said.
Anadarko President and CEO Al Walker said in a statement that the agreement enhances the capital efficiency of Anadarko's investment in the Lucius development, estimated to hold more than 300 million barrels of oil equivalent.
He said the participants in the venture are working toward first production in 2014.
Shares in Anadarko closed at $65.66, down 54 cents.

WHILE POLICE were testifying Thursday about the squalid conditions in which they found 89-year-old Iris Galarza last December, Galarza sat silently in the courtroom gallery, unable to hear a word.
Galarza, who is deaf and has dementia, allegedly was victimized by the theft of $30,000 of her Social Security money by Nancy Gonzalez, her nephew's ex-girlfriend, who was supposed to use the money to pay Galarza's bills.
For 32 years, Gonzalez was paid $60,000 annually as a secretary to City Council presidents. She was allowed to retire in July after her arrest on theft charges.
Gonzalez, as Galarza's Social Security representative payee since 2005, had access to the account into which Galarza's Social Security checks were deposited. Instead of using the money to pay Galarza's bills, as she was supposed to, Gonzalez used it at restaurants, department stores, a casino and other locations, prosecutors said at her preliminary hearing Thursday in Municipal Court.

Hundreds of thousands of American seniors on Medicare Part A and Part B are are now discovering that with the correct Medicare Supplemental Policy they will be able to:

Protect your health and assure your assets with a Medicare Supplemental Policy
Like the thousands of patients that our agents have aided over time, you assuredly found that attempting to make up your mind on the perfect Medigap Plan can be trying to say the least. Furthermore, getting a Medicare Supplemental Provider to coordinate together with you when considering quotes is aggravating also.
Thankfully, this isn't always the case. Finding a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Company that you can work with is a snap after you find out that:
Purchase a Medigap Policy through our company and feel good about about both your lower cost premiums and the exceptional policies.
Moreover that is not the full list of things that we will do for you. Did you ever attempted to put in for an insurance plan like a Medicare Supplemental Insurance? Lots of senior citizens are sadly denied a policy or received limited coverage on their plan that they were blind sided by once they had paid their first bill. Plus way too often there can be irritating hassles involved in receiving that payment returned or procuring another matching Medigap Policy or other insurance.
We take great caution so things like this don't happen to you. The Medigap Insurance Agents we've hired are also experienced and highly-trained "field underwriters.†So we'll not only assist you in finding the lowest for Medicare Supplement Insurance Costs, but we'll insure you will be approved for the insurance policy first, before dealing with any paperwork. By answering a few quick questions about your health, you can instantly enrolled for Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policies that should approve you without any issues, without hassles or worries you could ending your coverage.
Our agents won't recommend a plan to you unless we are positive your approval is guaranteed by the Medigap Insurance carrier Moreover, our Lowest Rate Guarantee insures that you not ever have to pay a dime for our brokerage services and are always paying the cheapest available price on the suggested policy you qualify to receive.
Then, for your convenience, we have made deals with with all of our Medicare Supplemental Insurance Companies to make it easy for you sign up for their plans right over the phone in a manner of minutes. You get the least expensive Medicare Supplement Insurance Bills available in your area, protection for life and, if you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F, you'll never need to pay a penny again for Medicare covered treatments.
If you want the best a Medicare Supplemental Plan F is a great plan since it offers:
Medigap is an insider term applied to health care plans usually called Medicare Supplemental Insurance. These Medigap Plans augment the gaps in standard health protection that aren't taken care of by Medicare Parts A and B.
A Medigap Insurance Plan is not an stand-in for traditional Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Policy, instead it compliments with traditional Medicare. Additionally, Medigap Insurance Plans are different from Medicare Advantage Plans because they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no issues with being "in nework" as to where you can receive medical treatment..
When you select the correct Medicare Supplemental Insurance Medicare Supplemental Insurance Coverage a Medicare Supplement Plan F for example you will never, ever need to open up your wallet for a single penny when you have treatment in a physician's office, hospital or specialty treatment center that accepts Original Medicare.
When you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your bills for medical treatment are out-of-this-world, you will will not ever have to pay anything for bills for medical treatment providing that Original medicare greenlights medical costs.
Medicare Supplemental Rates: How they work
If you require medical care with a doctor, hospital or specialty treatment center, simply show them your Medigap Insurance card to the specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital. Then everything will be taken care of.
Fact is,, once your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare most of the time will ship your claim simply to your Medicare Supplement Insurance Company without you having to lift a finger.

I have my own custom theme, but every other plugin I use works fine. It's just whenever I activate this one, almost all functionality (besides adding plain text) goes out the window. It worked fine before I updated both the plugin and wordpress, but after updating both to the latest releases, it breaks everything.

Too easy
You aren't going to convince anyone to buy the full version when the trial is that easy. I like the idea, but the game is just too easy.
poorly conceived Angry Birds rip-off
poorly conceived copy of Angry Birds. Your first taste is free but requires in app purchase to continue through the levels.
Why cant game developers come up with new ideas instead of taking advantage of others?
This game is cute
